What to do
Affected operators must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks specified in Airbus A350 ALS Part 2 Revision 06 within the defined thresholds and intervals starting from the effective date. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to include these tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus instructions or approved alternatives.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0210 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the Airbus A350 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2 Revision 06, which includes damage tolerant airworthiness limitation items essential for continued airworthiness.
What changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2017-0027 and adds the Airbus A350-1041 model to the applicability. It requires operators to implement new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks introduced in ALS Part 2 Revision 06, updating thresholds and intervals for damage tolerant airworthiness limitations.
Why it matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0210 is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and safety of Airbus A350 aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure that updated maintenance tasks are incorporated into their approved maintenance programs to prevent unsafe conditions and meet regulatory requirements.
